I believe in individual freedom, not giving some people the freedom to deny freedom to other people. That includes limiting the rights people have over their children's bodies and beliefs.

And there again it depends on the unique people/circumstances involved. There are parents so desperate to feel they have a 'good relationship' that they don't enforce any rules which, in the end, ruins the relationship anyway. Parenting is a huge challenge!

I think it can. You have to know who your child is & what they actually need. If they need boundaries but rage that they don't, you'll need to overrule that. Fortunately, my father knew I'd inherited his intense privateness & almost pathological independence & gave me my head.

They only made rules about how I treated the house and them which I could absolutely respect because that affected them. I could not accept them making rules for me which only affected me & even when they didn't, I still needed to make my own living & have my own place.

They would have paid for me to go to university but I couldn't be beholden to them any longer so I didn't go. Earned minimum wage as a care assistant for many years but was happy coz independent. I don't think this is common tho & I have to accept it is not who my daughter is.

I'm sure you are a wonderful mother. Thoughtful, funny, caring and you pay attention to who she is.
